MCP for Solopreneurs
Automate your one-person business and get 10-20 hours back every week.
Running a business alone means wearing every hat - sales, marketing, operations, finance, customer service. MCP lets you delegate the repetitive digital work to AI, so you can focus on the work that actually grows your business. No coding required. No expensive tools. Just you and Claude working together.
Reclaim Your Time
Solopreneurs using MCP report saving 15-20 hours per week on admin tasks.
The Solopreneur's Problem
The Copy-Paste Treadmill
You spend hours moving information between apps. Client emails to your CRM. Meeting notes to your task list. Invoice data to your spreadsheet. Over and over.
Tool Overload
You've got 15 tabs open - Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Drive, Slack, your invoicing tool. Each one demands attention. None of them talk to each other.
No Time for Deep Work
The admin work expands to fill all available time. By the time you've processed emails and updated your systems, the day is half gone.
The Real Cost
Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent with clients, creating content, or growing your business. At $100/hour, that's $1,500-2,000 per week in lost revenue potential.
How MCP Changes Everything
Before MCP
- ✕Check email → manually add tasks to Notion
- ✕Get meeting request → manually check calendar → manually create event
- ✕Finish project → manually update tracker → manually send invoice reminder
After MCP
- ✓"Claude, process my morning emails and add any action items to my task list"
- ✓"Schedule this meeting and create a prep doc with context from our previous emails"
- ✓"Mark the Johnson project complete and draft a follow-up email with next steps"
"MCP doesn't replace your tools. It connects them so you can operate all of them through conversation. Think of Claude as your virtual assistant who actually understands your systems."

Common Questions
I'm not technical. Can I really do this?▼
Yes. Most MCP workflows require zero coding. You're essentially having conversations with Claude about your tools. If you can describe what you want done, you can use MCP.
How much does this cost?▼
MCP itself is free. You need a Claude account (free tier works for testing). Your existing tool accounts (Gmail, Drive, etc.) work as-is.
I don't have time to learn something new.▼
The Quick Start Kit is designed for busy people. 30 minutes to your first workflow. You'll save that time back in the first day.
What if I mess something up?▼
Start with read-only workflows (searching, summarizing). MCP doesn't do anything you don't ask it to do. You're always in control.
Is my client data safe?▼
Yes, when used correctly. Your data stays on your machine and in your existing tools. Read our security guide for details.
